On Wednesday, Feb. 20, Mineral Springs Elementary invited parents of kindergarten students to come to the school for a program about activities that parents can do at home to help their children learn. The event was divided into three floating sessions to accommodate parents’ schedules. The Women’s Progressive Club of First Baptist Church supported the program by providing refreshments and educational gifts. Parents also received their choice of books for reading to their children at home.
Family Engagement is a grant program funded by United Way to promote kindergarten relationships that will foster personal-social growth and effective communication between the school, teacher, parent and child.
Debra Gladstone is the principal at Mineral Springs and Sylvia Conrad is the Family Engagement Coordinator.
The Chronicle included a story about the program in its Feb. 28 issue.
